The Bears beat the Detroit Lions in their season opener in Chicago thanks to a very favorable ruling on what appeared to be a Detroit touchdown that would have given the Lions a lead with little time to play.

Today, the Bears got to face a Lions team in Detroit that was missing its top two quarterbacks and top pass-rusher Kyle Vanden Bosch, who was ruled inactive for the game this morning because of a neck injury.
